performance and matinence,my anti-virus}, my computer freezes for a couple
seconds then nothing happens.Anyway its working in safemode with networking
because i have to go online, but i have no sound and am wondering if there's

Howdy,

yeah.. You don't get sound in safe mode, You may want to try and find out
what is causing the initial problem.. as safe mode works i'd guess it a
driver/service or program running on startup..

Trying clicking start/run and type msconfig (in safe mode) select selective
startup and deselect 'load startup items' then restart in normal mode and see
if your computer is ok.. If not you can try the same with services..
Once you find out which section is causing the problem then it's a case of
trial and error to find the exact program causing the problem.

Hope this helps
